Where can the drunkenness with power and the Messianic conviction of one's mission lead? In June 1815 Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte stood before Waterloo, expecting a battle that would become the synonym for a fatal failure. Even then, facing his imminent fall, he wouldn't control his pride and the cruelty of a dictator. (Summer Film School)
